2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the
financial position of the Company as of September 26, 2008 and its results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 26, 2008 and cash flows for the nine month period ended September 26, 2008 have been
included. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 26, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. It is recommended that the accompanying consolidated
financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2007.

The Company has accounted for the divestiture of CMA and the Polymer Business as discontinued operations (see Note 7).

The Company has also accounted for the divestiture of DuBois as a discontinued operation, resulting in the reclassification of prior period amounts in
the Companys consolidated statements of operations and consolidated balance sheets (see Note 7).

Unless otherwise indicated, all
monetary amounts, excluding share data, are stated in thousands.

Beginning with fiscal year 2008, the Company will change its fiscal year
end date from the Friday nearest December 31 to December 31. Accordingly, fiscal year 2008 will end on December 31, 2008.

3. New
Accounting Standards

In August 2008, the SEC announced that it will issue for comment a proposed roadmap regarding the potential
use of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for the preparation of financial statements by U.S. registrants. IFRS are standards and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board. Under the proposed
roadmap, we would be required to prepare financial statements in accordance with IFRS in fiscal 2016, including comparative information also prepared under IFRS for fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2015. The SEC will make a determination in 2011 regarding the
mandatory adoption of IFRS. We are currently assessing the potential impact of IFRS on our financial statements, including early adoption of IFRS, and will continue to follow the proposed roadmap for future developments.

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued SFAS
No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles(SFAS No. 162). SFAS No. 162 provides a framework for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are
presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP for nongovernmental entities. SFAS No. 162 will be effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) amendments to AU Section 411,
The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 162 will have a significant effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows.

In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 142-3, Determining the Useful Life of Intangible Assets(FSP No. 142-3). FSP No. 142-3 amends the factors to be considered in determining the useful life of intangible assets. Its intent is to improve the consistency between the useful life of an intangible asset and the period
of expected cash flows used to measure its fair value by allowing an entity to consider its own historical experience in renewing or extending the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. FSP No. 142-3 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008, which for the Company is its fiscal year 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of FSP No. 142-3.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities  an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133(SFAS No. 161).
SFAS No. 161 requires companies to provide enhanced disclosures about the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative data about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative contracts, and details of
credit-risk-related contingent features in their hedged positions. The statement also requires companies to disclose more information about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in financial statements; how derivatives and related
hedges are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities;and how the hedges affect the entitys financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. SFAS
No. 161 is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, which for the Company is its fiscal year 2009. Early adoption is encouraged. We are currently evaluating the impact of the
provisions of SFAS No. 161.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations
(SFAS No. 141(R)), which replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) retains the underlying concepts of SFAS No. 141 in that all business combinations are still required to be
accounted for at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting, but SFAS No. 141(R) changed the method of applying the acquisition method in a number of significant aspects. Acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred;
noncontrolling interests will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date; in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a
business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. SFAS
No. 141(R) is effective on a prospective basis for all business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual period subsequent to December 15, 2008, with the exception of the accounting for
changes in valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies related to acquisitions prior to the date of adoption of SFAS No. 141(R). Early adoption is not permitted. The provisions of SFAS No. 141(R) are effective for
the fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008, which for the Company is its fiscal year 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of SFAS No. 141(R).

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statement, an amendment of ARB
No. 51 (SFAS No. 160). SFAS No. 160 requires that ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, and the amount of consolidated net income, be clearly identified, labeled, and
presented in the consolidated financial statements within equity, but separate from the parents equity. It also requires that once a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be
initially measured at fair value. Sufficient disclosures are required to clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. The provisions of SFAS No. 160 are effective for the
fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008, which for the Company is its fiscal year 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of SFAS No. 160.

In January 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities  Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 is intended to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to
mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. It also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate
comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The statement does not affect any existing accounting literature that requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at
fair value, and it does not establish requirements for recognizing dividend income, interest income or interest expense. It also does not eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159
at the beginning fiscal year of 2008; however, we have not elected to change the measurement attribute for any of the permitted items to fair value upon adoption. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 has not had a significant effect on our financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. Relative to SFAS No. 157, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-2, which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for one year for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or
disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. As required, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157 at the beginning of fiscal year 2008 for financial assets and liabilities and for nonfinancial assets and liabilities that
are remeasured at least annually, the provisions of which have not had a significant effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We have not yet determined the impact on our financial statements from the adoption of SFAS
No. 157 as it pertains to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities for fiscal 2009 (See Note 14).

In September 2006, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132 (R)(SFAS No. 158). SFAS No. 158
requires an employer to recognize the over-funded or under-funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its consolidated balance sheets and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the
changes occur through comprehensive income. SFAS No. 158 does not change the amount of net periodic benefit cost included in net earnings. The Company adopted the recognition provisions of SFAS No. 158 effective December 28, 2007.

SFAS No. 158 also requires the measurement of defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the employers
fiscal year-end consolidated balance sheets (with limited exceptions). The Company adopted such provisions at the beginning of fiscal year 2008, resulting in a $2,242 increase in pension and post-retirement benefits and retained deficit during the
three month period ended March 28, 2008 and nine month period ended September 26, 2008.

4. Master Sales Agency Terminations

In connection with the May 2002 acquisition of the DiverseyLever business, the Company entered into a master sales agency agreement
(the Sales Agency Agreement) with Unilever, whereby the Company acts as an exclusive sales agent in the sale of Unilevers consumer branded products to various institutional and industrial end-users. At acquisition, the Company
assigned an intangible value to the Sales Agency Agreement of $13,000.

An agency fee is paid by Unilever to the Company in exchange for
its sales agency services. An additional fee is payable by Unilever to the Company in the event that conditions for full or partial termination of the Sales Agency Agreement are met. The Company elected, and Unilever agreed, to partially terminate
the Sales Agency Agreement in several territories resulting in payment by Unilever to the Company of additional fees. In association with the partial terminations, the Company recognized sales agency fee income of $180 and $2,229 during the three
months ended September 26, 2008 and September 28, 2007, respectively; and $587 and $2,947 during the nine months ended September 26, 2008 and September 28, 2007, respectively.

In October 2007, the Company and Unilever agreed on an Umbrella Agreement (the Umbrella),
to replace the previous Sales Agency Agreement, which includes; i) a new agency agreement with terms similar to the previous Sales Agency Agreement, covering Ireland, the United Kingdom, Portugal and Brazil, and ii) a Master Sub-License Agreement
(the License Agreement) under which Unilever has agreed to grant 31 of the Companys subsidiaries a license to produce and sell professional size packs of Unilevers consumer branded cleaning products. The entities covered by
the License Agreement will also enter agreements with Unilever to distribute Unilevers consumer branded products. Except for some transitional arrangements in certain countries, the Umbrella became effective January 1, 2008, and, unless
otherwise terminated or extended, will expire on December 31, 2017.

Under the License Agreement, the Company recorded net product and
service sales of $39,447 and $114,535 during the three and nine months ended September 26, 2008, respectively.

5. Acquisitions

June 2008

In June 2008, JDI
purchased certain intangible assets relating to a cleaning technology for an aggregate purchase price of $8,020. The purchase price includes a $1,000 non-refundable deposit made in July 2007; $5,020 paid at closing; and $2,000 of future payments
that are contingent upon, among other things, achieving commercial production. Assets acquired include primarily intangible assets, consisting of trademarks, patents, technological know-how, customer relationships and a non-compete agreement.

In September 2008, having met certain contingent requirements, the Company paid the sellers $1,000.

In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company and the sellers entered into a consulting agreement, under which the Company will pay to the sellers
$1,000 in fiscal 2009 and $1,000 in fiscal 2010, subject to meeting certain conditions.

In addition to the purchase price discussed above,
the Company previously maintained an intangible asset in its consolidated balance sheet in the amount of $4,700, representing a payment from the Company to the sellers in a previous period in exchange for an exclusive distribution license agreement
relating to this technology. This distribution agreement was terminated as a result of the acquisition and the value of this asset is considered in the final allocation of purchase price.

At September 26, 2008, the Companys allocation of purchase price is as follows:



|                       |  |            |        |             |           
|---------------------- |  | ---------- | ------ | ----------- | ----------
|                       |  | Fair Value |        | Useful Life
|Trademarks             |  | $          | 540    |             | Indefinite
|Patents                |  |            | 40     |             | 18 years  
|Technological know-how |  |            | 10,470 |             | 20 years  
|Customer relationships |  |            | 50     |             | 10 years  
|Non-compete            |  |            | 600    |             | 10 years  

The Company expects to allocate any future contingent payments to technological know-how, as paid.

March 2007

In March 2007, JDI
purchased an additional 6% interest in a North American business that provides purchasing and category management tools to certain of JDIs end-users for $2,550. JDI previously held 9% of the outstanding shares. The transaction is not
considered material to the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

6. Divestitures

Auto-Chlor Master Franchise and Branch Operations

In December 2007, in conjunction with its November 2005 Plan (see Note
11), JDI executed a sales agreement for its Auto-Chlor Master Franchise and substantially all of its remaining Auto-Chlor branch operations in North America, a business that marketed and sold low-energy dishwashing systems, kitchen chemicals,
laundry and housekeeping products and services to foodservice, lodging, healthcare, and institutional customers, for $69,800.

The sales
agreement was subject to the approval of the Companys Board of Directors and Unilever consent, both of which the Company considered necessary in order to meet held for sale criteria under SFAS No. 144 Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Accordingly, these assets were classified as held and used as of December 28, 2007. The Company obtained approval from its Board of Directors and consent from Unilever in
January 2008.

The transaction closed on February 29, 2008, and the Company recorded an estimated gain of $2,481 after taxes and
related costs during the three months ended March 28, 2008. The Company recorded additional one-time costs and refined net assets disposed, reducing the gain by $50 during the three months ended September 26, 2008, resulting in a gain of
$1,509 after taxes and related costs during the nine months ended September 26, 2008. The gain associated with these divestiture activities is included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated
statements of operations. The gain is subject to additional post-closing adjustments including evaluation of potential pension-related settlement charges.

As of the divestiture date, net assets were as follows:



|                                   |  |   |       
|---------------------------------- |  | - | ------
|Inventories                        |  | $ | 8,343 
|Property, plant and equipment, net |  |   | 11,439
|Goodwill                           |  |   | 12,745
|Other intangibles, net             |  |   | 32,517
|                                   |  |   |       
|Net assets divested                |  | $ | 65,044
|                                   |  |   |       

Net sales associated with these businesses were approximately $0 and $15,487 for the three months
ended September 26, 2008 and September 28, 2007, respectively; and $9,882 and $45,929 for the nine months ended September 26, 2008 and September 28, 2007, respectively.

7. Discontinued Operations

DuBois Chemicals

On September 26, 2008, JDI and JohnsonDiversey Canada, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of JDI, sold substantially all of the
assets of DuBois Chemicals (DuBois) to DuBois Chemicals, Inc. and DuBois Chemicals Canada, Inc., subsidiaries of The Riverside Company (collectively, Riverside) for approximately $69,700, of which, $5,000 was escrowed subject
to meeting fiscal year 2009 performance measures and $1,000 was escrowed subject to resolution of certain environmental representations by JDI. The purchase price is also subject to certain post-closing adjustments that are based on net working
capital targets. JDI and Riverside are expected to finalize the performance related adjustments during the second quarter of 2010 and all other adjustments during the first quarter of 2009.

DuBois is a North American based manufacturer and marketer of specialty chemicals, control systems and related services primarily for use by industrial
manufacturers. DuBois was a non-core asset of JDI and a component of the North American business segment. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $16,900 ($8,300 after tax), net of related costs.

The Asset Purchase Agreement refers to ancillary agreements governing certain relationships between
the parties, including a Distribution Agreement and Supply Agreement, each of which is not considered material to JDIs consolidated financial results.

On September 26, 2008, in association with the divestiture, Commercial Markets Holdco, Inc. (Holdco), Marga B.V., a subsidiary of Unilever, and the Company amended and restated the Amended and
Restated Stockholders Agreement (the Agreement) dated as of January 1, 2008. Holdco and Marga B.V. own 66 2/3% and 33 1/3% of the outstanding shares of the Company, respectively. The Company owns 100% of the outstanding shares
of JDI. The amendment and restatement of the Stockholders Agreement adjusted the buyout formula relating to the purchase of Marga B.V.s shares by the Company in the amount of $19,100, subject to an adjustment based on the performance
measures previously mentioned, at the time of Marga B.V.s exit.

Chemical Methods Associates

On September 30, 2006, in connection with its November 2005 Plan (see Note 11), JDI sold its equity interest in CMA to Ali SpA, an Italian-based
manufacturer of equipment for the food service industry, for $17,000. CMA was a non-core asset of the Company. In January 2007, the Company finalized and collected additional purchase price of $314 related to a working capital adjustment. During the
fiscal year ended December 29, 2006, the Company recorded an estimated gain of $2,322 ($497 after tax), net of related costs. During the nine months ended September 28, 2007 the Company finalized purchase price and recorded additional
closing costs, resulting in a reduction to the gain of $125 ($75 after tax). During the fiscal year ended December 28, 2007, the Company finalized purchase price and recorded additional closing costs, resulting in a reduction to the gain of
$262 ($300 after tax).

Polymer Business

On June 30, 2006, Johnson Polymer, LLC (JP) and JohnsonDiversey Holdings II B.V. (Holdings II), an indirectly owned subsidiary of JDI, completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of JP, certain of the
equity interests in, or assets of certain JP subsidiaries and all of the equity interests owned by Holdings II in Johnson Polymer B.V. (collectively, the Polymer Business) to BASF Aktiengesellschaft (BASF) for approximately
$470,000 plus an additional $8,119 in connection with the parties' estimate of purchase price adjustments that are based upon the closing net asset value of the Polymer Business. Further, BASF paid the Company $1,500 for the option to extend the
tolling agreement by up to six months. In December 2006, the Company and BASF finalized purchase price adjustments related to the net asset value and the Company received an additional $4,062. The Polymer Business developed, manufactured and sold
specialty polymers for use in the industrial print and packaging industry, industrial paint and coatings industry and industrial plastics industry. The Polymer Business was a non-core asset of the Company and had been reported as a separate business
segment. During the fiscal year ended December 29, 2006, the Company recorded an estimated gain of $352,907 ($256,693 after tax), net of related costs.

During the fiscal year ended December 28, 2007, the Company finalized and paid certain pension related adjustments, adjusted net assets disposed and recorded additional closing costs, reducing the gain by $1,742
($305 after tax gain) of which $243 ($145 after tax) and $1,342 ($805 after tax) was recorded during the three and nine months ended September 28, 2007, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 26, 2008, the Company
recorded and refined additional closing costs reducing the gain by $14 ($58 after tax) and $186 ($223 after tax), respectively. Further adjustments are not expected to be significant.

8. Accounts Receivable Securitization

JDI and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an agreement (the Receivables Facility) whereby they sell, on a continuous basis, certain
trade receivables to JWPR Corporation (JWPRC), a wholly-owned, consolidated, special purpose, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of JDI. JWPRC was formed for the sole purpose of buying and selling receivables generated by JDI and certain of
its subsidiaries party to the Receivables Facility. JWPRC, in turn, sells an undivided interest in the accounts receivable to a nonconsolidated financial institution (the Conduit) for an amount equal to the value of all eligible
receivables (as defined under the receivables sale agreement between JWPRC and the Conduit) less the applicable reserve. As of September 26, 2008 and December 28, 2007, the size of our Receivables Facility for securitization was $75,000.

As of September 26, 2008 and December 28, 2007, the Conduit held $39,700 and $45,200, respectively, of accounts receivable that
are not included in the accounts receivable balance reflected in the Companys consolidated balance sheet.

As of September 26,
2008 and December 28, 2007, JDI had a retained interest of $88,047 and $79,957, respectively, in the receivables of JWPRC. The retained interest is included in the accounts receivable balance and is reflected in the consolidated balance sheet
at estimated fair value.

9. Income Taxes

For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, the Company is projecting an effective income tax rate on income from continuing operations of approximately 250%. The projected effective income tax rate for the
fiscal year exceeds the statutory tax rate primarily as a result of increased valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets and increases in reserves for uncertain tax positions.

The Company reported an effective income tax rate of 141.5% and 202.7% on pre-tax income from continuing operations for the three and nine month periods
ended September 26, 2008, respectively. When compared to the estimated annual effective tax rate, the effective tax rates for the three and nine month periods ended September 26, 2008 are lower primarily due to actual pacing of pre-tax
income (loss) and income tax expense (benefit) in certain key jurisdictions. Additionally, the effective tax rate on income from continuing operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 26, 2008 was reduced by the income tax
benefit from use of the current year pre-tax loss from continuing operations to offset the income and gain from the divestiture of the DuBois business. While the estimated annual effective tax rate is also reduced by the effect of the divestiture,
the impact on the three and nine month periods is more pronounced due to the lower level of pre-tax income for the periods.

The Company
reported an effective income tax rate of 51.0% and 48.2% on pre-tax income from discontinued operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 26, 2008, respectively. The effective income tax rate exceeds the statutory tax rate
primarily as a result of an excess of book goodwill over tax goodwill considered disposed in conjunction with the divestiture of the DuBois business. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, the income
tax benefit from use of the current year pre-tax loss from continuing operations to offset the gain from the divestiture of the DuBois business is reported as an income tax benefit for continuing operations.

The Company is projecting a charge to income tax expense of approximately $8,000 for the 2008 fiscal year related to uncertain income tax positions,
primarily related to certain intercompany transactions. As of December 31, 2008, the Company is projecting total unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions of $123,600, including positions impacting only the timing of tax benefits,
of which $39,200, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods (after considering the impact of valuation allowances). Additionally, $4,500 of unrecognized tax benefits would, if recognized, reduce goodwill.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company is projecting accrued interest and penalties of $13,700 related to unrecognized tax benefits, of which $2,900 is expected to be recorded as income tax expense during the fiscal year ended December 31,
2008.

The Company is currently under audit by various state and international tax authorities. Based on the
anticipated outcomes of these tax audits and the potential lapse of statutes of limitation, it is reasonably possible there could be a reduction of $17,200 in unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months.

The components of inventories
are summarized as follows:

Inventories are stated in the consolidated balance sheets net of allowance for excess and obsolete
inventory of $27,810 and $30,594 on September 26, 2008 and December 28, 2007, respectively.

11. Restructuring Liabilities

November 2005 Restructuring Program

On November 7, 2005, the Companys Board of Directors approved a restructuring program (November 2005 Plan), which is expected to take one to two more years to implement, and includes a redesign of the Companys
organization structure, the closure of a number of manufacturing and other facilities and a workforce reduction of approximately 10%, in addition to previously planned divestitures. In addition to the divestiture of the Polymer Business, CMA and
DuBois (see Note 7), the Company is considering the potential divestiture of, or exit from, certain other non-core or underperforming businesses.

In connection with the November 2005 Plan, the Company recognized liabilities of $2,244 for the involuntary termination of 57 employees during the three months ended September 26, 2008, most of which are associated with the European
and North American business segments. During the nine months ended September 26, 2008, the Company recognized liabilities of $13,445 for the involuntary termination of 219 employees, most of which are associated with the European and Japanese
business segments. The Company also recorded $0 and $39 of other restructuring costs during the three and nine months ended September 26, 2008, respectively.

In addition, and in connection with the November 2005 Plan, the Company recognized liabilities of $8,986 and $14,764 for the involuntary termination of 73 and 195 employees, most of which are associated with the
European business segment. The company also recorded liabilities of $147 and $762 and liability adjustments, resulting in reductions of $0 and $74, associated with other restructuring activity during the three and nine months ended
September 28, 2007, respectively.

14. Fair Value Measurements

In September
2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 at the beginning of fiscal year 2008, for financial assets and liabilities and for nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are
remeasured at least annually. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels:



|          |  |                                                                                                                                                                                         
|--------- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Level 1  |  | Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1
inputs.
|          | 
|Level 2  |  | Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data.                                                                               
|          | 
|Level 3  |  | Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.                                        

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis was
as follows:



|                                   |  |                              |        |         |   |         |  |         |        |  |   |

16. Stockholders Agreement and Class B Common Stock Subject to Put and Call Options

In connection with the acquisition of the DiverseyLever business, the Company entered into a Stockholders Agreement with its
stockholders, Commercial Markets Holdco, Inc. (Holdco) and Marga B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Unilever N.V. (Unilever), as amended and restated in September 2008. The Stockholders Agreement relates to, among other
things:



| |  |  | restrictions on the transfer of the Companys shares held by the stockholders;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the Companys corporate governance, including board and committee representation and stockholder approval provisions;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the put and call options and rights of first offer and refusal with respect to shares held by Marga B.V.;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | certain payments to Marga B.V. as described below; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | various other rights and obligations of the Company and its stockholders, such as provisions relating to delivery of and access to financial and other information,
payment of dividends and indemnification of directors, officers and stockholders.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marga B.V.s obligations under
the Stockholders Agreement are guaranteed by Unilever.

Put and Call Options. Under the Stockholders Agreement, at any
time after May 3, 2008, Unilever has the right to require the Company to purchase the shares then beneficially owned by Unilever. The Company has the option to purchase the shares beneficially owned by Unilever at any time after May 3,
2010. Any exercise by the Company of its call option must be for at least 50% of the shares beneficially owned by Unilever. Any exercise by Unilever of its put option must be for all of its shares.

Before May 3, 2010, the Companys obligations in connection with a put by Unilever are conditioned on a refinancing of JDIs and the
Companys indebtedness, including indebtedness under JDIs senior subordinated notes and JDIs senior secured credit facilities. In connection with the put, the Company must use its reasonable best efforts prior to May 3, 2009,
and its best efforts after that date, to consummate a refinancing and may be required to purchase less than all of the shares subject to the put under some circumstances. If the Company purchases less than all of the shares subject to a put,
Unilever may again put its remaining shares after a specified suspension period.

Following the exercise by Unilever of its put rights, if the Company fails to purchase all of
Unilevers shares for cash by May 3, 2010, it must issue a promissory note to Unilever in exchange for the remaining shares. The maturity date of the promissory note will be either 90 days or one year after its issuance, depending on the
level of Unilevers ownership interest in the Company at that time. The terms of the promissory note will provide Unilever with rights similar to its rights as a stockholder under the Stockholders Agreement, including board
representation, veto and access and informational rights. The promissory note will contain various subordination provisions in relation to JDIs and the Companys indebtedness.

If, after May 3, 2010, Unilever has not been paid cash with respect to its put option, Unilever may also:



| |  |  | require the Company to privately sell Unilevers shares or other shares of Holdings capital stock to a third party; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | require the Company to sell its Japan businesses or any other business or businesses that may be identified for sale by a special committee of the Companys
board of directors. The special committee is required to identify such other business or businesses after May 3, 2009 and prior to May 3, 2010 and to engage an investment banking firm to assist it with such identification and evaluation.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The exercise of these remedies, other than sales of Unilevers shares, is subject to compliance with the agreements
relating to JDIs and the Companys indebtedness.

The price for the Companys shares subject to a put or call option will
be based on the Companys enterprise value at the time the relevant option is exercised, plus its cash and minus its indebtedness. The Company enterprise value cannot be less than eight times the EBITDA of the Company and its subsidiaries, on a
consolidated basis, for the preceding four fiscal quarters, as calculated in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement. If the Company, Unilever and their respective financial advisors cannot agree on an enterprise value, the
issue will be submitted to an independent third-party for determination.

If the Company purchases less than all of the shares beneficially
owned by Unilever in connection with the exercise of the put or call option, Unilever may elect to fix the price for its remaining shares not purchased. If Unilever does not elect to fix the price, the price will float and a new price will be
determined based on the enterprise value the next time a put or call option is exercised.

Contingent Payments. Under the
Stockholders Agreement, the Company may be required to make payments to Unilever in each year from 2007 through 2010 so long as Unilever continues to beneficially own 5% or more of the Companys outstanding shares. The amount of each
payment will be equal to 25% of the amount by which the cumulative cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, for the period from May 3, 2002, through the end of the fiscal year preceding the payment (not including
any cash flow with respect to which Unilever received a payment in a prior year), exceeds:



| |  |  | $727,000 in 2006;
| | - |  | -----------------



| |  |  | $975,000 in 2007;
| | - |  | -----------------



| |  |  | $1,200,000 in 2008; and
| | - |  | -----------------------



| |  |  | $1,425,000 in 2009.
| | - |  | -------------------

The aggregate
amount of all these payments cannot exceed $100,000. Payment of these amounts is subject to compliance with the agreements relating to the Company and JDIs senior indebtedness including, without limitation, the senior discount notes of the
Company, JDIs senior subordinated notes and JDIs senior secured credit facilities.

(unaudited)



Holdings did not meet the cumulative cash flow requirement for the measurement periods ended
December 28, 2007 and December 29, 2006 and will not be required to make a contingent payment.

Transfer of Shares. Under
the Stockholders Agreement, a stockholder controlled by Unilever may transfer its shares of the Company to another entity of which Unilever owns at least an 80% interest, and a stockholder controlled by Holdco may transfer its shares of the
Company to another entity of which Holdco owns at least an 80% interest.

In addition, at any time after May 3, 2007, Unilever may
sell all, but not less than all, of its shares of the Company to no more than one person (an Early Sale), subject to certain restrictions, including, but not limited to, the requirement that all consents and approvals are obtained, the
sale not violating or resulting in the termination of JDIs license agreement with SCJ and the sale not constituting a change of control under the JDIs senior secured credit facilities. Further, the purchaser of the Companys shares
from Unilever cannot be a competitor of SCJ and must be approved by Holdco, which approval cannot be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Unilever sells its shares of the Company to a third party, that third party would be entitled to the same
rights and be subject to the same obligations applicable to Unilever under the Stockholders Agreement.

From May 3, 2007 through
May 3, 2008, prior to commencing an Early Sale, Unilever must notify the Company of its intention to sell its shares and the Company has the right of first offer to purchase the shares beneficially owned by Unilever at the price and on the
terms specified by Unilever. If the Company does not elect to purchase the shares, Unilever may commence an Early Sale. Prior to completing that sale, however, Unilever must again offer the shares to the Company, and the Company has a right of first
refusal to purchase the shares. The price for the shares under the Companys right of first refusal would be the price at which the shares are offered to the third-party purchaser plus a premium equal to 3% of that third-party price, with a
maximum aggregate premium of $15 million and a minimum aggregate premium of $10 million. The maximum and minimum limitations applicable to the premium are prorated to the extent that the Company had previously purchased shares held by Unilever. The
premium would be paid by Holdco. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Unilever has not notified the Company of its intention to sell its shares pursuant to an Early Sale prior to May 3, 2008, Unilever would be required to first exercise its put
option prior to selling its shares to a third party as described in this paragraph.

Purchase of Additional Shares from Holdco.
Under the Stockholders Agreement, on the earlier of May 3, 2010 and the date on which Unilever sells all of its shares of the Company to the Company or a third party in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement,
Unilever will have the right to buy from Holdco that number of class A common shares of the Company (the Additional Shares) equal to the lesser of (i) 1.5% of the total outstanding shares of the Company and (ii) the largest
whole number of class A common shares, the aggregate value (as determined pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement) of which does not exceed $40 million. The purchase price to be paid by Unilever to Holdco for such Additional Shares would be
$.01 per share. Unilever may then require the immediate repurchase by Holdco of the Additional Shares at a price determined in accordance with the Stockholders Agreement. The obligations to transfer the Additional Shares and repurchase those
shares are obligations solely of Holdco.

17. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to various legal actions and proceedings in the normal course of business. Although litigation is subject to many uncertainties and
the ultimate exposure with respect to these matters cannot be ascertained, the Company does not believe the final outcome of any current litigation will have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

The Company has purchase commitments for materials, supplies and property, plant and equipment entered into in
the ordinary course of business. In the aggregate, such commitments are not in excess of current market prices. Additionally, the Company normally commits to some level of marketing related expenditures that extend beyond the fiscal period. These
marketing expenses are necessary in order to maintain a normal course of business and the risk associated with them is limited. It is not expected that these commitments will have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company maintains environmental reserves for remediation; monitoring and related expenses for one
of its domestic facilities. While the ultimate exposure to further remediation expense at this site continues to be evaluated, the Company does not anticipate a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In connection with the acquisition of the DiverseyLever business, the Company conducted environmental assessments and investigations at
DiverseyLever facilities in various countries. These investigations disclosed the likelihood of soil and/or groundwater contamination or potential environmental regulatory matters. An estimate of costs has been made and maintained based on the
expected extent of contamination and the expected likelihood of recovery for some of these costs from Unilever under the purchase agreement for the acquisition.

JDI is a licensee of certain chemical production technology used globally. The license agreement provides for guaranteed minimum royalty payments during a term ending on December 31, 2014. Under the terms of
agreement and based on current financial projections, the Company does not expect to meet the minimum guaranteed payments. In accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 5, JDI has estimated its possible range of loss as $1,943 to $3,446 and,
in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 14, maintained a loss reserve of $1,943 at December 28, 2007. The Company revised its estimated possible loss range to $2,532 to $3,446, recording a charge of $589 in the three months ended
September 26, 2008, resulting in a loss reserve of $2,532 that date.

|ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Executive Overview

The following management discussion and analysis describes material changes in
the financial condition and results of operations of JohnsonDiversey Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries since December 28, 2007. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements as
of, and for the quarterly period ended, September 26, 2008, our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2007, and the section entitled Forward-Looking Statements located prior to Part I of this report.

We operate our business through Holdings sole subsidiary, JDI, and its subsidiaries. We are an environmentally responsible, leading
global marketer and manufacturer of cleaning, hygiene, operational efficiency, appearance enhancing products and equipment and related services for the institutional and industrial cleaning and sanitation market. We have net product and service
sales (net sales) in more than 170 countries through our direct sales force, wholesalers and third-party distributors. Our sales are balanced geographically, with our principal markets being Europe, North America and Japan, with an
increasing presence in the emerging markets of Asia Pacific and Latin America.

Except where noted, the management discussion and analysis
below, excluding the consolidated statements of cash flows, reflects the results of continuing operations, which excludes the divestiture of DuBois Chemicals (DuBois), Chemical Methods Associates (CMA) and the Polymer
Business segment (Polymer Business) as discussed in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements.

In the three and nine
months ended September 26, 2008, net sales increased by $87.8 million and $293.9 million, respectively, from the same periods in the prior year. As indicated in the following table, after excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates,
acquisitions and divestitures, sales agency fee income (SAF), and sales from our Master Sub-License Agreement (the License Agreement), our net sales increased 4.6% for the three months ended September 26, 2008 compared
to the same period in the prior year, and our 2008 year-to-date results compared to 2007 year-to-date results increased 3.4%. Beginning in fiscal year 2008, the License Agreement has replaced the Sales Agency Agreement in most countries.

Our third quarter and year-to-date results show net sales growth in all of our regions except
Japan, primarily due to price increases taking hold in all global geographic areas and business sectors and the expansion of developing markets in Asia Pacific, Latin America and Central and Eastern Europe.

As indicated below, our gross profit percentage, based on net sales as reported, declined by 260 basis points for the third quarter of 2008 compared to
the same period in the prior year. Excluding the impact of sales agency fee income, our gross profit percentage declined 150 basis points for the third quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year as pricing actions taken during the
third quarter of 2008 have not kept pace with unprecedented cost increases in key raw materials costs. Unprecedented cost escalation occurred at the end of the second quarter and flowed directly into the third quarter, as evidenced by significant
increases in phosphorous materials, caustic soda, chelates, and other key materials. In addition, a significant increase in the cost of oil has affected our acquisition costs of key materials and our ability to deliver our products in a cost
effective manner. Certain materials, linked with production of products in varying markets like housing, have driven significant cost increases due to scarcity of supply versus historical levels. The volatile market makes it extremely difficult to
predict where material costs are headed on a month-to-month and quarter-on-quarter basis. Our gross profit percentages for the three months ended September 26, 2008 and September 28, 2007 were as follows:

Rising raw material costs will continue to present significant challenges in 2008 and 2009. In response, we continue to
implement price increases to recover these costs, to the fullest extent possible, and continue to pursue cost reduction initiatives.

We
remain well within our financial covenants under our senior secured credit facilities, although the global economy has been greatly affected by the recent credit crisis with many lenders and institutional investors ceasing to provide funding to even
the most credit-worthy borrowers. We believe that we are positioned to deal with the current crisis, however, we are not able to predict how severe the crisis may become and how it will affect our business or our customers businesses going
forward. A severe decline in the global economy would affect a number of our end-users who may reduce the volume of their purchases from us during economic downturns. This would likely have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows. We continue to monitor economic conditions closely and pursue cost saving opportunities through our restructuring program and other cost reduction initiatives as well as growth opportunities through certain
strategic investments and innovations.

In November 2005, in response to structural changes in raw material markets that gave rise to
significant increases in our input costs, we announced a program (November 2005 Plan) to implement an operational restructuring of our Company. The program also considers the potential divestiture of, or exit from, certain non-core or
underperforming businesses. Although we are experiencing a similar pattern of events with volatile fuel costs and increases in raw materials prices in 2008, our restructuring program has positioned us to confront these challenges more effectively.

During the third fiscal quarter of 2008, we continued to make significant progress with the operational restructuring of our Company in
accordance with the November 2005 Plan. In particular, key activities during the quarter included the following:



| |  |  | successfully completed the sale of our DuBois industrial business, a non-core operation primarily in our North American segment, which included a principal
manufacturing plant in Sharonville, Ohio, for $69.7 million in cash proceeds, of which $5.0 million was escrowed subject to meeting fiscal year 2009 performance measures and $1.0 million was escrowed subject to the resolution of certain
environmental representations;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | substantially completed the transition to one centrally managed European region;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | continued the transition of certain general ledger accounting functions in Western Europe to a third party provider;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | completed phase one of the consolidation and streamlining of our Japanese sales and marketing functions into one legal entity and two business units;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | substantially completed the implementation of a global human resource information system in over 60 countries; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | continued progress on various supply chain optimization projects to improve capacity utilization and efficiency.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In connection with the aforementioned and other activities under the November 2005 Plan, we recorded restructuring charges of approximately $2.2 million
and $13.5 million, which consisted primarily of severance costs, for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2008, respectively. In addition, we recorded period costs of $7.9 million and $32.3 million related to the

November 2005 Plan for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2008, respectively. For the three months ended September 26, 2008, the $7.9
million of period costs mainly relate to costs in the Corporate Center. These period costs consisted of the following:



| |  |  | $3.7 million of human resource and pension related costs;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $1.6 million of sales and marketing related costs;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $1.2 million of global sourcing and value chain related costs;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $1.2 million of professional services related costs;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | ($1.2) million of facilities related net proceeds; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | other costs totaling $1.4 million.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------

For the nine
months ended September 26, 2008, the $32.3 million of period costs mainly relate to costs in our European and Japanese regions as well as the Corporate Center. These period costs consisted of the following:



| |  |  | $11.0 million of human resource and pension related costs;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $6.3 million related to long-lived asset impairments primarily related to warehouse closures in our European and Japanese regions;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $3.7 million of global sourcing and value chain related costs;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $3.6 million of professional services related costs;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $3.3 million of sales and marketing related costs;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $1.8 million of outplacement, relocation and recruiting costs; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | other costs totaling $2.6 million.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------

In addition to the ongoing November 2005 Plan initiatives and results mentioned above and as reported in the second quarter of 2008, we plan to move to an operating model organized into three regions. During the third quarter of 2008, we
developed plans to initiate this process in our new Americas and Asia Pacific regions and our existing European region. This reorganization will better position us to address consolidation and globalization trends among our customers while also
enabling us to more effectively deploy resources against the most compelling market and customer growth opportunities. We also believe this move will boost our efforts to more rapidly deploy innovation globally. We remain on target to complete this
reorganization in fiscal 2009. We will consider the effects of the reorganization on our prospective segment reporting, but we do not expect to change our reporting structure during fiscal 2008.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our
financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The following are the accounting policies that we believe are most
critical to our financial condition and results of operations and that involve managements judgment and/or evaluation of inherent uncertain factors:

Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or ownership has transferred to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and
collection is probable. We record an estimated reduction to revenue for customer discount programs and incentive offerings, including allowances and other volume-based incentives. If market conditions were to decline, we may take actions to increase
customer incentive offerings, possibly resulting in a reduction of gross profit margins in the period during which the incentive is offered. Revenues are reflected in the consolidated statement of operations net of taxes collected from customers and
remitted to governmental authorities.

In arriving at net sales, we estimate the amounts of sales deductions likely to be earned by
customers in conjunction with incentive programs such as volume rebates and other discounts. Such estimates are based on written agreements and historical trends and are reviewed periodically for possible revision based on changes in facts and
circumstances.

Estimating Reserves and Allowances. We estimate inventory reserves based on periodic reviews of
our inventory balances to identify slow-moving or obsolete items. This determination is based on a number of factors, including new product introductions, changes in customer demand patterns, product life cycle, and historic usage trends.

We estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts by analyzing accounts receivable balances by age, applying historical trend rates,
analyzing market conditions and specifically reserving for identified customer balances, based on known facts, which are deemed probable as uncollectible. For larger accounts greater than 90 days past due, an allowance for doubtful accounts is
recorded based on the customers ability and likelihood to pay and based on managements review of the facts and circumstances. For other customers, we recognize an allowance based on the length of time the receivable is past due based on
historical experience.

We accrue for losses associated with litigation and environmental claims based on managements best estimate
of future costs when such losses are probable and reasonably able to be estimated. We record those costs based on what management believes is the most probable amount of the liability within the ranges or, where no amount within the range is a
better estimate of the potential liability, at the minimum amount within the range. The accruals are adjusted as further information becomes available or circumstances change.

Pension and Post-Retirement Benefits. We sponsor separately funded pension and post-retirement plans in various countries, including the United
States. Several statistical and judgmental factors, which attempt to anticipate future events, are used in calculating the expense and liability related to the plans. These factors include assumptions about the discount rate, expected return on plan
assets, rate of future compensation increases and healthcare cost trends, as determined by us and our actuaries. In addition, our actuarial consultants also use subjective factors, such as withdrawal and mortality rates, to estimate these factors.
We use actuarial assumptions that may differ materially from actual results due to changing market and economic conditions, higher or lower withdrawal rates, longer or shorter life spans of participants and changes in actual costs of healthcare.
Actual results may significantly affect the amount of pension and other post-retirement benefit expenses recorded by us.

Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets. We periodically conduct an impairment review on long-lived assets, including non-amortizing intangible assets and goodwill, and assess whether significant events or changes in business
circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the anticipated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the
asset and its eventual disposition. The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded, if any, is calculated by the excess of the assets carrying value over its estimated fair value. We also periodically reassess the estimated remaining useful
lives of our amortizing intangible assets and our other long-lived assets. Changes to estimated useful lives would affect the amount of depreciation and amortization expense recorded in our consolidated financial statements. We annually complete an
impairment analysis of goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets. Moreover, where indicators of impairment are identified for long-lived assets, we prepare a future undiscounted cash flow analysis, determine any impairment impact and record, if
necessary, a reduction in the affected asset(s). Based on our business approach to decision-making, planning and resource allocation, we have determined that we have five reporting units for purposes of evaluating goodwill for impairment, which is
aligned with our five geographic segments. Goodwill balances are typically recorded at the reporting unit level; however, where applicable, balances may be allocated to reporting units based upon geographic alignment. We recorded impairment charges
on certain long-lived assets of $6.3 million and $9.8 million, during the nine-month periods ended September 26, 2008, and September 28, 2007, respectively, in connection with the November 2005 Plan.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2008, the
SEC announced that it will issue for comment a proposed roadmap regarding the potential use of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for the preparation of financial statements by U.S. registrants. IFRS are standards and
interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board. Under the proposed roadmap, we would be required to prepare financial statements in accordance with IFRS in fiscal 2016, including comparative information also prepared under
IFRS for fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2015. The SEC will make a determination in 2011 regarding the mandatory adoption of IFRS. We are currently assessing the potential impact of IFRS on our financial statements, including early adoption, and will
continue to follow the proposed roadmap for future developments.

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued SFAS No. 162,
The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles(SFAS No. 162). SFAS No. 162 provides a framework for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for nongovernmental entities. SFAS No. 162 will be effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) amendments to
AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 162 will have a significant effect on our financial condition, results
of operations or cash flows.

In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 142-3, Determining the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets(FSP No. 142-3). FSP No. 142-3 amends the factors to be considered in determining the useful life of intangible assets. Its intent is to improve the consistency between the useful life of an
intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure its fair value by allowing an entity to consider its own historical experience in renewing or extending the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. FSP No. 142-3 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of FSP No. 142-3.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities  an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133(SFAS No. 161).
SFAS No. 161 requires companies to provide enhanced disclosures about the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative data about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative contracts, and details of
credit-risk-related contingent features in their hedged positions. The statement also requires companies to disclose more information about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in financial statements; how derivatives and related
hedges are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities; and how the hedges affect the entitys financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
SFAS No. 161 is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, which for us is our fiscal year 2009. Early adoption is encouraged. We are currently evaluating the impact of the
provisions of SFAS No. 161.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations
(SFAS No. 141(R)), which replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) retains the underlying concepts of SFAS No. 141 in that all business combinations are still required to be
accounted for at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting, but SFAS No. 141(R) changed the method of applying the acquisition method in a number of significant aspects. Acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred;
noncontrolling interests will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date; in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a
business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. SFAS
No. 141(R) is effective on a prospective basis for all business combinations when the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual period subsequent to December 15, 2008, with the exception of the accounting for
changes in valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies related to acquisitions prior to the date of adoption of SFAS No. 141(R). Early adoption is not permitted. The provisions of SFAS No. 141(R) are effective for
the fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008, which for us is our fiscal year 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of SFAS No. 141(R).

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (SFAS
No. 160), an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS No. 160 requires that ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, and the amount of consolidated net income, be clearly identified, labeled, and presented
in the consolidated financial statements within equity, but separate from the parents equity. It also requires that once a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially
measured at fair value. Sufficient disclosures are required to clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. The provisions of SFAS No. 160 are effective for the fiscal year
beginning on or after December 15, 2008, which for us is our fiscal year 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of SFAS No. 160.

In January 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities  Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 is intended to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate
volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. It also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate
comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The statement does not affect any existing accounting literature that requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at
fair value, and it does not establish requirements for recognizing dividend income, interest income or interest expense. It also does not eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards. We adopted SFAS No. 159 at the
beginning of fiscal year 2008; however, we have not elected to change the measurement attributes for any of the permitted items to fair value upon adoption. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 has not had a significant effect on our financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. Relative to SFAS No. 157, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) 157-2, which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for one year for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized
or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. As required, we adopted SFAS No. 157 at the beginning of fiscal year 2008 for financial assets and liabilities and for nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are
remeasured at least annually, the provisions of which have not had significant effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We have not yet determined the impact on our financial statements from the adoption of SFAS
No. 157 as it pertains to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities for fiscal 2009. See Note 14 (Fair Value Measurements) to our consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere in this report, for further discussion.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement
Plans (SFAS No. 158), an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132 (R). SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to recognize the over-funded or under-funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan
as an asset or liability in its consolidated balance sheets and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. SFAS No. 158 does not change the amount of net periodic benefit cost
included in net earnings. We adopted the recognition provisions effective December 28, 2007.

SFAS No. 158 also requires the
measurement of defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the employers fiscal year-end consolidated balance sheets (with limited exceptions). We adopted such provisions at the beginning of fiscal year 2008, resulting in a
$2.2 million increase in pension and post-retirement benefits and retained deficit during the three month period ended March 28, 2008 and nine month period ended September 26, 2008.

Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, acquisitions and divestitures, sales agency fee
income, and sales under the License Agreement, our net product and service sales increased 4.6% for the three months ended September 26, 2008, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was due to growth in all of our regions
except Japan, primarily due to price increases taking hold in all global geographic areas and business sectors and the expansion of developing markets in Asia Pacific, Latin America and Central and Eastern Europe. The following is a review of the
sales performance for each of our regions, which also excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, acquisitions and divestitures, sales agency fee income, and sales under the License Agreement:



| |  |  | In our Europe, Middle East and Africa markets, net sales increased 4.4% in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year. Overall growth
was primarily driven by additional pricing in Western European countries and the expansion of certain developing markets in Central and Eastern Europe, which boosted growth through both volume and price increases.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In Asia Pacific, net sales increased 7.4 % in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was driven by a mix of
pricing and volume growth. A combination of increased sales to top customers and strong sales volume by certain key developing markets in the region, primarily in the food and beverage as well as the food and lodging sectors, contributed to this
growth.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In Latin America, net sales increased 12.4% in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year, further increasing the growth trend from the
second quarter. Growth came from most countries in the region with both pricing and volume growth contributing to the overall increase. This strong performance was due to top customer growth and strong sales in the food and beverage sector.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In North America, net sales increased 4.7% in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year, which excludes the impact of DuBois, a
non-core operation of our North American segment that we divested in the third quarter. The increase was primarily due to price increases taking hold in all sectors as well as growth in the retail, building service contractor and food and beverage
sectors.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In Japan, net sales decreased 3.0% in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year, which is an improvement over the second
quarters performance. Much of the decline continues to be driven by choices made to exit certain non-core and/or underperforming accounts in both direct and indirect channels.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Sales Agency Fee and License Agreement. In October 2007, we reached agreement with Unilever on a new Umbrella Agreement, to replace the previous Sales Agency
Agreement, which includes; i) a new agency agreement with terms similar to the previous Sales Agency Agreement, covering Ireland, the United Kingdom, Portugal and Brazil, and ii) the License Agreement under which Unilever has agreed to grant 31 of
our subsidiaries a license to produce and sell professional size packs of Unilevers consumer branded cleaning products. The entities covered by the License Agreement have also entered into agreements with Unilever to distribute Unilevers
consumer branded products. Except for some transitional arrangements in certain countries, the Umbrella Agreement became effective January 1, 2008, and unless otherwise terminated or extended, will expire on December 31, 2017.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under the License Agreement, we recorded net product and service sales of $39.4 million during the three month period
ended September 26, 2008.

With respect to the Sales Agency Agreement, we recorded total sales agency fee income of $9.8 million,
consisting of $8.6 million under the new agency agreement, $1.1 million under transitional arrangements, and $0.2 million of termination fees during the quarter. Except for the countries mentioned above, we anticipate that sales under the previous
agreement for other countries will be converted to the License Agreement in 2008.

| |  |  | As measured against prior years results, the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the euro and certain other foreign currencies increased gross profit by
$19.7 million for the three months ended September 26, 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Based on net sales as reported, our gross profit percentage for the third quarter of 2008 declined by 260 basis points compared to the same period in the prior
year. Excluding the impact of sales agency fee income, our gross profit percentage declined 150 basis points for the third quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year due to the unprecedented cost increases in key raw materials
costs mentioned above. Rising raw material costs will continue to present significant challenges in 2008 and 2009. In response, we continue to implement price increases to recover these costs, to the fullest extent possible, and continue to pursue
cost reduction initiatives.

expenses.

| |  |  | Operating expenses. As measured against prior years results, the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the euro and certain other foreign currencies
increased operating expenses by $14.3 million in the three months ended September 26, 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year.

| |  |  | Selling, general and administrative expenses. Excluding period costs associated with the November 2005 Plan, selling, general and administrative expenses as
a percentage of net product and service sales (excludes sales agency fee income) were 30.1% for the third quarter of 2008 compared to 33.6% for the same period in the prior year. Excluding the impact of foreign currency and costs associated with the
November 2005 Plan, selling, general and administrative costs declined $8.9 million during the third quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year. This was due to savings from our November 2005 Plan.

| |  |  | November 2005 Plan restructuring costs.During the third quarters of 2008 and 2007, we recorded $2.2 million and $9.1 million, respectively, of restructuring
costs related to our November 2005 Plan in our consolidated statements of operations. These costs consisted primarily of involuntary termination costs associated with our European and North American business segments.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | November 2005 Plan period costs.During the third quarter of 2008 and the third quarter of 2007, we recorded $7.8 million and $24.7 million, respectively, of
selling, general and administrative expenses mainly for restructuring activities related to human resource and pension related costs, various value chain related projects and various sales and marketing related projects at the Corporate Center.
These costs consisted of $0.2 million and $6.4 million, respectively, for long-lived asset impairments, $0.3 million and ($1.5) million, respectively, for write-offs and adjustments of other assets (pensions, inventory, and accounts receivable) and
$7.4 million and $18.3 million, respectively, for other period costs associated with our restructuring activities (current period costs are further explained above in the Executive Overview). The overall decrease in these expenses over the prior
year was mainly due to a reduction in restructuring activities at our European business segment as well as the Corporate Center.

| |  |  | DiverseyLever acquisition. In connection with the acquisition of the DiverseyLever business, we also recorded liabilities for the involuntary termination of
former DiverseyLever employees and other exit costs associated with former DiverseyLever facilities. During the third quarter of 2008 and 2007, we paid cash of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, representing contractual obligations
associated with involuntary terminations and lease payments on closed facilities. The restructuring reserve balances associated with the exit plans and our acquisition-related restructuring plans were $0.7 million and $1.8 million as of
September 26, 2008 and September 28, 2007, respectively. We continue to make cash payments representing contractual obligations associated with involuntary terminations and lease payments on closed facilities.

| |  |  | Net interest expense increased marginally in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to lower interest income
resulting from lower average cash balances during the period as compared to the same period last year, and a lower interest yield on investments due to lower interest rates.

| |  |  | For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, we are projecting an effective income tax rate of approximately 250%. The projected effective income tax rate for
the fiscal year exceeds the statutory tax rate primarily as a result of increased valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets and increases in reserves for uncertain tax positions.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We reported an effective income tax rate of 141.5% on the pre-tax income from continuing operations for the three month period ended September 26,
2008. When compared to the estimated annual effective tax rate, the lower effective tax rate for the three month period ended September 26, 2008 is primarily attributable to actual pacing of pre-tax income (loss) and income tax expense
(benefit) in certain key jurisdictions, and the income tax benefit from use of the current year pre-tax loss from continuing operations to offset the income and gain from the divestiture of the DuBois business. While the estimated annual effective
tax rate is also reduced by the effect of the DuBois divestiture, the impact on the three month period ended September 26, 2008 is more pronounced due to the lower level of pre-tax income for the period.



| |  |  | We reported an effective income tax rate of -241.7% on the pre-tax loss from continuing operations for the three month period ended September 28, 2007. The
high effective income tax rate is primarily the result of increased valuation allowances against deferred tax assets for U.S. and international tax loss and credit carryforwards and increased valuation allowances against other net deferred tax
assets.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net Income:

Our net income increased by $26.3 million, to a net loss of $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2008 compared to a net loss of $26.5 million for the same period in the prior year, mainly due to an increased operating profit of $34.3
million and the $8.3 million after-tax gain from the sale of DuBois, which increased income from discontinued operations. This was partially offset by a $13.0 million increase in the income tax provision. The increase in operating profit was
achieved through a $15.1 million increase in gross profit, a $22.2 million decrease in restructuring expenses and period costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses related to our November 2005 Plan and cost savings generated from
our November 2005 Plan.

EBITDA:

EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, and you should not consider EBITDA as an alternative to U.S. GAAP financial measures such as (a) operating profit or net profit as a measure of our operating performance or (b) cash
flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities (as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP) as a measure of our ability to meet cash needs.

We believe that, in addition to cash flows from operating activities, EBITDA is a useful financial measurement for assessing liquidity as it provides management, investors, lenders and financial analysts with an
additional basis to evaluate our ability to incur and service debt and to fund capital expenditures. In addition, various covenants under our senior secured credit facilities are based on EBITDA, as adjusted pursuant to the provisions of those
facilities.

In evaluating EBITDA, management considers, among other things, the amount by which EBITDA exceeds interest costs for the
period, how EBITDA compares to principal repayments on outstanding debt for the period and how EBITDA compares to capital expenditures for the period. Management believes many investors, lenders and financial analysts evaluate EBITDA for similar
purposes. To evaluate EBITDA, the components of EBITDA, such as net sales and operating expenses and the variability of such components over time, should also be considered.

Accordingly, we believe that the inclusion of EBITDA in this report permits a more comprehensive analysis of our liquidity relative to other companies
and our ability to service debt requirements. Because all companies do not calculate EBITDA identically, the presentation of EBITDA in this report may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

EBITDA should not be construed as a substitute for, and should be considered together with, net cash flows provided by operating activities as determined
in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The following table reconciles EBITDA to net cash flows provided by operating activities, which is the U.S. GAAP measure most comparable to EBITDA for the three months ended September 26, 2008 and
September 28, 2007.

EBITDA increased by $38.6 million for the three months ended September 26, 2008 compared to
the same period in the prior year, which was primarily due to a $15.8 million decrease in restructuring expenses and period costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses related to our November 2005 Plan, a $16.9 million gain from
the sale of DuBois, and cost savings generated from the November 2005 Plan. This increase was partially offset by raw material cost increases not fully offset by pricing actions.

| |  |  | Net product and service sales.As measured against prior years results, the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the euro and certain other foreign
currencies contributed $181.2 million to the increase in net product and service sales.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Excluding the impact of foreign
currency exchange rates, acquisitions and divestitures, sales agency fee income, and sales under the License Agreement, our net product and service sales increased 3.4% compared to the same period in the prior year. All regions except Japan
contributed to the increase, primarily due to price increases taking hold in all global geographic areas and business sectors and the expansion of developing markets in Asia Pacific, Latin America and Central and Eastern Europe. The following is a
review of the sales performance for each of our regions, which also excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, acquisitions and divestitures, sales agency fee income, and sales under the License Agreement:



| |  |  | In our Europe, Middle East and Africa markets, net sales increased 3.9% in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year driven by
strong performances in the second and third quarters. This increase was primarily driven by additional pricing and the expansion of certain Western European countries as well as developing markets in Central and Eastern Europe.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In Asia Pacific, net sales increased 8.7% in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year. Approximately two thirds of this increase
was due to volume growth and one third was due to pricing. Growth was achieved through top customer growth and strong sales volume in certain key developing markets in the region, primarily in the food and beverage and the lodging sectors.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In Latin America, net sales increased 8.8% in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year with growth coming from most countries in
the region. The overall increase was driven by an equal mix of pricing and volume growth, which was driven by success with our indirect channel partners and growth in the food and beverage sector.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In North America, net sales increased 1.6% in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to price increases taking
hold in all sectors and an expanding retail sector. This growth was partially offset by losses due to customer consolidation and distributor inventory reduction.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In Japan, net sales decreased 4.0% in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to choices made to exit certain
non-core and/or underperforming accounts in both direct and indirect channels.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Sales Agency Fee and License Agreement. In October 2007, we reached agreement with Unilever on a new Umbrella Agreement, to replace the previous Sales Agency
Agreement, which includes; i) a new agency agreement with terms similar to the previous Sales Agency Agreement, covering Ireland, the United Kingdom, Portugal and Brazil, and ii) the License Agreement under which Unilever has agreed to grant 31 of
our subsidiaries a license to produce and sell professional size packs

| | of Unilevers consumer brand cleaning products. The entities covered by the License Agreement have also entered into agreements with Unilever to
distribute Unilevers consumer branded products. Except for some transitional arrangements in certain countries, the Umbrella Agreement became effective January 1, 2008, and unless otherwise terminated or extended, will expire on
December 31, 2017.

Under the License Agreement, we recorded net product and service sales of $114.5 million during
the first nine months of 2008.

With respect to the Sales Agency Agreement, we recorded total sales agency fee income of $28.4 million,
consisting of $23.9 million under the new agency agreement, $3.9 million under transitional arrangements, and $0.6 million of termination fees. Except for the countries mentioned above, we anticipate that sales under the previous agreement for other
countries will be converted to the License Agreement in 2008.

| |  |  | As measured against prior years results, the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the euro and certain other foreign currencies increased gross profit by
$81.1 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Based on net sales as reported, our gross profit percentage for the third quarter of 2008 declined by 120 basis points compared to the same period in the prior
year. Excluding the impact of sales agency fee income, our gross profit percentage was unchanged for the first nine months of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. This was due to the unprecedented cost increases in key raw materials costs
mentioned above. Rising raw material costs will continue to present significant challenges in 2008 and 2009. In response, we continue to implement increases to recover these costs, to the fullest extent possible, and pursue cost reduction
initiatives.

expenses.

| |  |  | Operating expenses. As measured against prior years results, the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the euro and certain other foreign currencies
increased operating expenses by $61.6 million in the nine months ended September 26, 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year.

| |  |  | Selling, general and administrative expenses. Excluding period costs associated with the November 2005 Plan, selling, general and administrative expenses as
a percentage of net product and service sales (excludes sales agency fee income) were 31.5% for the first nine months of 2008 compared to 34.7% for the same period in 2007. Excluding the impact of foreign currency and costs associated with the
November 2005 Plan, selling, general and administrative costs declined $22.2 million during the first nine months of 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year. This was achieved through savings from our November 2005 Plan and controlled
spending in most of our regions.

| |  |  | Research and development expenses. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, research and development expenses increased $2.0 million during the first nine
months of 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year.

| |  |  | Restructuring expenses. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, restructuring expenses decreased $2.7 million during the first nine months of 2008 compared
to the same period in the prior year. This was primarily due to decreased employee severance and other expenses related to the November 2005 Plan.

| |  |  | November 2005 Plan restructuring costs.During the first nine months of 2008 and 2007, we recorded $13.5 million and $15.5 million, respectively, of
restructuring costs related to our November 2005 Plan in our consolidated statements of operations. Costs for the first nine months of 2008 consisted primarily of involuntary termination costs associated with our Japanese and European business
segments, and the costs for the first nine months of 2007 consisted primarily of involuntary termination and other costs incurred throughout North America and Europe.

| |  |  | November 2005 Plan period costs.During the first nine months of 2008 and the first nine months of 2007, we recorded $32.8 million and $69.0 million,
respectively, of selling, general and administrative expenses and $0.6 million and $0.3 million reduction, respectively, of cost of sales (representing an adjustment of previous inventory reserves), mainly for restructuring activities related to the
Japan reorganization and various value chain related projects and costs related to human resources and sales and marketing at the Corporate Center. These costs consisted of $6.3 million and $9.8 million, respectively, for long-lived asset
impairments, $1.9 million and $0.9 million, respectively for write-offs and adjustments of other assets (pensions, inventory, and accounts receivable) and $24.1 million and $58.0 million, respectively, for other period costs associated with
restructuring activities (current period costs are further explained above in the Executive Overview). The overall decrease in these expenses over the prior year was mainly due to a reduction in restructuring activities in our North American and
European business segments as well as the Corporate Center.

| |  |  | DiverseyLever acquisition. In connection with the acquisition of the DiverseyLever business, we also recorded liabilities for the involuntary termination of
former DiverseyLever employees and other exit costs associated with former DiverseyLever facilities. During the first nine months of 2008 and 2007, we paid cash of $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, representing contractual obligations
associated with involuntary terminations and lease payments on closed facilities. The restructuring reserve balances associated with the exit plans and our acquisition-related restructuring plans were $0.7 million and $1.8 million as of
September 26, 2008 and September 28, 2007, respectively. We continue to make cash payments representing contractual obligations associated with involuntary terminations and lease payments on closed facilities.

| |  |  | Net interest expense increased in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to lower interest income resulting from
lower average cash balances during the period as compared to the same period last year, and a lower interest yield on investments due to lower interest rates.

| |  |  | For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, we are projecting an effective income tax rate of approximately 250%. The projected effective income tax rate for
the fiscal year exceeds the statutory tax rate primarily as a result of increased valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets and increases in reserves for uncertain tax positions.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We reported an effective income tax rate of 202.7% on the pre-tax income from continuing operations for the nine month period ended September 26,
2008. When compared to the estimated annual effective tax rate, the lower effective tax rate for the nine month period ended September 26, 2008 is primarily attributable to actual pacing of pre-tax income (loss) and income tax expense (benefit)
in certain key jurisdictions, and the income tax benefit from use of the current year pre-tax loss from continuing operations to offset the income and gain from the divestiture of the DuBois business. While the estimated annual effective tax rate is
also reduced by the effect of the DuBois divestiture, the impact on the nine month period ended September 26, 2008 is more pronounced due to the lower level of pre-tax income for the period.



| |  |  | We reported an effective income tax rate of -105.6% on the pre-tax loss from continuing operations for the nine month period ended September 28, 2007. The high
effective income tax rate is primarily the result of increased valuation allowances against deferred tax assets for U.S. and international tax loss and credit carryforwards and increased valuation allowances against other net deferred tax assets.

Net Income:

Our net
income increased by $83.0 million, to a net loss of $22.2 million for the first nine months of 2008 compared to a net loss of $105.2 million for the first nine months of 2007, mainly due to an increased operating profit of $91.1 million and the $8.3
million after-tax gain from the sale of DuBois, which increased income from discontinued operations. This was partially offset by a $12.4 million increase in the income tax provision. The increase in operating profit was primarily achieved through a
$93.5 million increase in gross profit and cost savings generated from our November 2005 Plan.

EBITDA increased by $87.2 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2008 compared to
the same period in the prior year, which was primarily due to a $16.9 million gain from the sale of DuBois and cost savings generated from the November 2005 Plan, which contributed to the $91.1 million increase in operating profit over the prior
year. This increase was partially offset by raw material costs increases not fully offset by pricing actions in the third quarter.

| |  |  | The increase in cash and cash equivalents at September 26, 2008 compared to December 28, 2007 resulted primarily from cash generated by operating
activities, proceeds from the divestitures of the Auto-Chlor business in February 2008 and the DuBois business in September 2008, and proceeds from short term borrowings. This cash generation was partially offset by capital expenditures and
dividends paid.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The increase in net cash provided by (used in) operating activities during the nine months ended September 26, 2008 compared to the same period in the prior
year was primarily due to an increase in net income during the nine months ended September 26, 2008.

| |  |  | The increase in net cash provided by (used in) investing activities during the nine months ended September 26, 2008 compared to the same period in the prior
year was primarily due an increase in proceeds from divestitures, mostly related to the divestitures of the Auto-Chlor business in February 2008 and the DuBois business in September 2008. This was partially offset by slightly higher capital
expenditures in the first nine months of 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007. Our investments tend to be in dosing and feeder equipment with new and existing customer accounts as well as ongoing expenditures in information technology and
manufacturing. We may also make significant cash expenditures in an effort to capitalize on cost savings opportunities.

| |  |  | The decrease in cash flow used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 26, 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year was due to
an increase in short term borrowings in the current year, as compared to a repayment of short-term borrowings for the same period in the prior year.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Working capital increased $46.0 million during the nine months ended September 26, 2008. This included a $10.4 million increase in accounts receivable and a
$40.3 million increase in inventories, partially offset by a $4.7 million increase in accounts payable. The increase in accounts receivable is largely the result of net sales growth, driven by significant pricing actions. The increase in inventories
is a result of a seasonal build in inventory levels and transitional builds from factory closures to meet customer obligations, the revaluation of inventory from significant inflation experienced throughout 2008, and inventory build from the License
Agreement. Current programs are in place to improve receivable and inventory turnover.

Debt and Contractual
Obligations. As a result of the DiverseyLever acquisition, we and JDI have a significant amount of indebtedness. On May 3, 2002, in connection with the acquisition, we issued senior discount notes with a principal amount at maturity of
$406.3 million to Unilever. Under the indenture for the senior discount notes, the principal amount of the senior discount notes accreted at a rate of 10.67% per annum through May 15, 2007. After May 15, 2007, interest accrues on the
accreted value of the senior discount notes at this rate, and is payable in cash semiannually in arrears to the extent that JDI can distribute to us the cash necessary to make the payments in accordance with the restrictions contained in the
indentures for the JDI senior subordinated notes and the JDI senior secured credit facilities. The failure by us to make all or any portion of a semiannual interest payment on the senior discount notes will not constitute an event of default under
the indenture for the senior discount notes if that failure results from JDIs inability to distribute the cash necessary to make that payment in accordance with these restrictions. Instead, interest will continue to accrue on any unpaid
interest at a rate of 10.67% per annum, and the unpaid interest will be payable on the next interest payment date on which JDI is able to distribute us the cash necessary to make the payment in accordance with the provisions contained in the
indentures for the JDI senior subordinated notes and the JDI senior secured credit facilities. We have no income from operations and no meaningful assets other than our interest in JDI. We receive all of our income from JDI and substantially all of
our assets consist of our investment in JDI. The senior discount notes mature on May 15, 2013.

In addition, on May 3, 2002, in connection with the acquisition, JDI issued its senior subordinated
notes and entered into a $1.2 billion senior secured credit facility. JDI used the proceeds of the sale of the JDI senior subordinated notes and initial borrowings under the JDI senior secured credit facilities, together with other available funds,
to finance the cash portion of the purchase price for the DiverseyLever business and the related fees and expenses and to refinance then-existing indebtedness.

The JDI senior secured credit facilities were amended and restated in December 2005. The amended facilities, among other things, permit the global restructuring under the November 2005 Plan and modify the financial
covenants contained in our previous credit facilities. The amended facilities consist of a revolving loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $175 million, including a letter of credit sub-limit of $50 million and a swingline
loan sub-limit of $30 million, that matures on December 16, 2010, as well as a term loan facility that matures on December 16, 2011. In addition, the amended facilities include a committed delayed draw term facility of up to $100 million,
which was fully drawn on July 14, 2006. The amended facilities also provide for an increase in the revolving credit facility of up to $25 million under specified circumstances. As of September 26, 2008, JDI had $4.9 million in letters of
credit outstanding under the revolving portion of the senior secured credit facilities and therefore had the ability to borrow $170.1 million under those revolving facilities.

As of September 26, 2008, excluding indebtedness held by JDI, our only indebtedness consisted of the senior discount notes with a book value of
$387.9 million. As of September 26, 2008, our subsidiaries had total indebtedness of $1.1 billion, consisting of $628.1 million of senior subordinated notes, $434.1 million of borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities, $11.9 million
of other long-term borrowings and $46.7 million in short-term credit lines. In addition, JDI had $190.1 million in operating lease commitments, $2.4 million in capital lease commitments and $4.9 million committed under letters of credit.

We believe that the cash flows from continuing operations, including the effects of divestitures made as part of the November 2005 Plan, together with
available cash, borrowings available under the JDI senior secured credit facilities, and the proceeds from the JDI receivables securitization facility will generate sufficient cash flow to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future,
including those related to the November 2005 Plan. We do not expect the divestitures of the Polymer Business and other businesses, made as part of the November 2005 Plan and included as part of continuing and discontinuing operations, to
significantly affect our future liquidity or our ability to meet our debt service obligations.

We have obligations related to our pension
and post-retirement plans that are discussed in detail in Note 13 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements. As of the most recent actuarial estimation, we anticipate making $47.5 million of contributions to pension plans in fiscal year
2008. Post-retirement medical claims are paid as they are submitted and are anticipated to be $3.8 million in fiscal year 2008.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. JDI and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an agreement (the Receivables Facility) in March 2001, as amended, whereby JDI and each participating subsidiary sell, on a continuous
basis, certain trade receivables to JWPR Corporation (JWPRC), JDIs wholly owned, consolidated, special purpose, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. JWPRC was formed for the sole purpose of buying and selling receivables generated by JDI
and certain of its subsidiaries party to the Receivables Facility. JWPRC, in turn, sells an undivided interest in the accounts receivable to nonconsolidated financial institutions (the Conduits) for an amount equal to the value of all
eligible receivables (as defined under the receivables sale agreement between JWPRC and the Conduits) less the applicable reserve. The accounts receivable securitization arrangement is accounted for as a sale under the provisions of SFAS
No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of LiabilitiesA replacement of FASB Statement No. 125.As September 26, 2008 and December 28, 2007, the size of
JDIs Receivables Facility for securitization was $75 million.

As of September 26, 2008 and December 28, 2007, the Conduits
held $39.7 million and $45.2 million, respectively, of accounts receivable that are not included in the accounts receivable balance reflected in our consolidated balance sheets.

##### Table of Contents

As of September 26, 2008 and December 28, 2007, JDI had a retained interest of $88.0 million
and $80.0 million, respectively, in the receivables of JWPRC. The retained interest is included in the accounts receivable balance and is reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at estimated fair value.

For the nine months ended September 26, 2008, JWPRCs cost of borrowing under the Receivables Facility was at a weighted average rate of
4.50% per annum.

Under the terms of the JDI senior secured credit facilities, JDI must use any net proceeds from the Receivables
Facility first to prepay loans outstanding under the JDI senior secured credit facilities. In addition, the net amount of trade receivables at any time outstanding under this and any other securitization facility that JDI may enter into may not
exceed $200 million in the aggregate.

Contractual Obligations

For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, we expect to increase FIN No. 48 liabilities (excluding interest and penalties) by $1.2 million, resulting in total FIN No. 48 liabilities (excluding
interest and penalties) of $31.7 million. Total FIN No. 48 liabilities for which payments are expected in less than one year are $3.9 million. We are not able to provide a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of future payments relating
to non-current unrecognized tax benefits.

Financial Covenants under the JDI Senior Secured Credit Facilities

Under the amended terms of our senior secured credit facilities, we are subject to certain financial covenants. The financial covenants under our senior
secured credit facilities require JDI to meet the following targets and ratios.

Maximum Leverage Ratio. JDI is required to maintain
a leverage ratio for each financial covenant period of no more than the maximum ratio specified in the senior secured credit facilities for that financial covenant period. The maximum leverage ratio is the ratio of (1) JDIs consolidated
indebtedness (excluding up to $55 million of indebtedness incurred under the Receivables Facility and indebtedness relating to specified interest rate hedge agreements) as of the last day of a financial covenant period using a weighted-average
exchange rate for the relevant fiscal three-month period to (2) JDIs consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the JDI senior secured credit facilities, for that same financial covenant period.

The JDI senior secured credit facilities require that JDI maintain a leverage ratio of no more than the ratio set forth below for each of the financial
covenant periods ending nearest the corresponding date set forth below:



|                                  |  |

|March 31, 2010                    |  | 3.75 to 1            
|June 30, 2010                     |  | 3.75 to 1            
|September 30, 2010 and thereafter |  | 3.50 to 1            

Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio.JDI is required to maintain an interest coverage ratio for
each financial covenant period of no less than the minimum ratio specified in the JDI senior secured credit facilities for that financial covenant period. The minimum interest coverage ratio is the ratio of (1) JDIs consolidated EBITDA,
as defined in the JDI senior secured credit facilities, for a financial covenant period to (2) JDIs cash interest expense for the same financial covenant period.

|September 30, 2010 and thereafter |  | 3.00 to 1                     

Compliance with Maximum Leverage Ratio and Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio. For JDIs
financial covenant period ended on September 26, 2008, JDI was in compliance with the maximum leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio covenants contained in the JDI senior secured credit facilities.

Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures are limited under the JDI senior secured credit facilities to $130 million per fiscal year. To the
extent that JDI makes capital expenditures of less than the limit in any fiscal year, however, JDI may carry forward into the subsequent year the difference between the limit and the actual amount we expended, provided that the amounts that JDI
carries forward from the previous year will be allocated to capital expenditures in the current fiscal year only after the amount allocated to the current fiscal year is exhausted. As of September 26, 2008, JDI was in compliance with the
limitation on capital expenditures for fiscal year 2008.

Restructuring Charges. The senior secured credit facilities limit the
amount of cash payments (i) arising in connection with the November 2005 Plan at any time from fiscal year 2006 through the end of fiscal year 2009 to $355 million in the aggregate and (ii) arising in connection with permitted divestitures
at any time from fiscal year 2006 through the end of fiscal year 2008 to $45 million. As of September 26, 2008, we were in compliance with the limitation on spending for restructuring and permitted divestiture-related activities.

In addition, the JDI senior secured credit facilities contain covenants that restrict JDIs ability to declare dividends and to redeem and
repurchase capital stock. The JDI senior secured credit facilities also limit JDIs ability to incur additional liens, engage in sale-leaseback transactions and incur additional indebtedness and make investments.

Acquisitions

June 2008

In June 2008, JDI purchased certain intangible assets relating to a cleaning technology for an aggregate purchase price of $8.0 million. The purchase
price includes a $1.0 million non-refundable deposit made in July 2007; $5.0 million paid at closing; and $2.0 million of future payments that are contingent upon, among other things, achieving commercial production. Assets acquired include
primarily intangible assets, consisting of trademarks, patents, technological know-how, customer relationships and a non-compete agreement.

In September 2008, having met certain contingent requirements, we paid the sellers $1.0 million.

In conjunction with the
acquisition, we entered into a consulting agreement with the sellers, under which we will pay to the sellers $1.0 million in fiscal 2009 and $1.0 million in fiscal 2010, subject to meeting certain conditions.

##### Table of Contents

In addition to the purchase price discussed above, we previously maintained an intangible asset in our
consolidated balance sheet in the amount of $4.7 million, representing a payment from us to the sellers in a previous period in exchange for an exclusive distribution license agreement relating to this technology. This distribution agreement was
terminated as a result of the acquisition and the value of this asset is considered in the final allocation of purchase price.

At
September 26, 2008, our allocation of the purchase price is as follows (000s):



|                       |  |            |        |             |

|Customer relationships |  |            | 50     |             | 10 years  
|Non-compete            |  |            | 600    |             | 10 years  

We expect to allocate any future contingent payments to technological know-how, as paid.

March 2007

In March 2007, JDI
purchased an additional 6% interest in a North American business that provides purchasing and category management tools to certain of JDIs end-users for $2.6 million. JDI previously held 9% of the outstanding shares. The transaction is not
considered material to our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Divestitures

Auto-Chlor Master Franchise and Branch Operations

In
December 2007, in conjunction with our November 2005 Plan , JDI executed a sales agreement for our Auto-Chlor Master Franchise and substantially all of our remaining Auto-Chlor branch operations in North America, a business that marketed and sold
low-energy dishwashing systems, kitchen chemicals, laundry and housekeeping products and services to foodservice, lodging, healthcare, and institutional customers, for $69.8 million.

The sales agreement was subject to the approval of JDIs Board of Directors and Unilever consent, both of which we considered necessary in order to
meet held for sale criteria under SFAS No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Accordingly, these assets were classified as held and used as of December 28, 2007.
JDI obtained approval from its Board of Directors and consent from Unilever in January 2008.

The transaction closed on February 29,
2008, and we recorded an estimated gain of $2.5 million after taxes and related costs during the three months ended March 28, 2008. We recorded some additional one-time costs and refined net assets disposed, reducing the gain by $0.1 million
during the three months ended September 26, 2008, resulting in a gain of $1.5 million after taxes and related costs during the nine months ended September 26, 2008. The gain associated with these divestiture activities is included as a
component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The gain is subject to additional post-closing adjustments including evaluation of potential pension-related settlement charges.

As of the divestiture date, net assets were as follows (000s):



|                                   |  |   |

Net sales associated with these businesses were approximately $0 million and $15.5 million for the three
months ended September 26, 2008 and September 28, 2007, respectively; and $9.9 million and $45.9 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2008 and September 28, 2007, respectively.

Discontinued Operations

DuBois Chemicals

On September 26, 2008, JDI and JohnsonDiversey Canada, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of JDI, sold substantially all of the assets of DuBois to
DuBois Chemicals, Inc. and DuBois Chemicals Canada, Inc., subsidiaries of The Riverside Company (collectively, Riverside), for approximately $69.7 million, of which, $5.0 million was escrowed subject to meeting fiscal year 2009
performance measures and $1.0 million was escrowed subject to resolution of certain environmental representations by JDI. The purchase price is also subject to certain post-closing adjustments that are based on net working capital targets. JDI and
Riverside are expected to finalize the performance related adjustments during the second quarter of 2010 and all other adjustments during the first quarter of 2009.

DuBois is a North American based manufacturer and marketer of specialty chemicals, control systems and related services primarily for use by industrial manufacturers. DuBois was a non-core asset of JDI and a component
of the North American business segment. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $16.9 million ($8.3 million after tax), net of related costs.

The following summarizes the carrying amount of assets and liabilities of DuBois immediately preceding divestiture (000s):

The Asset Purchase Agreement refers to ancillary agreements governing certain relationships
between the parties, including a Distribution Agreement and Supply Agreement, each of which is not considered material to JDIs consolidated financial results.

On September 26, 2008, in association with the divestiture, Commercial Markets Holdco, Inc. (Holdco), Marga B.V., a subsidiary of Unilever, and the Company amended and restated the Amended and
Restated Stockholders Agreement dated as of January 1, 2008 among the parties (as amended and restated, the Stockholders Agreement). Holdco and Marga B.V. own 66 2/3% and 33 1/3% of the outstanding shares of our company,
respectively. We own 100% of the outstanding shares of JDI. The amendment and restatement of the Stockholders Agreement adjusted the buyout formula relating to the purchase of Marga B.V.s shares by us in the amount of $19.1 million,
subject to an adjustment based on the performance measures previously mentioned, at the time of Marga B.V.s exit.

Chemical Methods Associates

On September 30, 2006, in connection with its November 2005 Plan, JDI sold its equity interest in CMA to Ali SpA, an Italian-based
manufacturer of equipment for the food service industry, for $17.0 million. CMA was a non-core asset of our company. In January 2007, we finalized and collected an additional purchase price of $0.3 million related to a working capital adjustment.
During the fiscal year ended December 29, 2006, we recorded an estimated gain of $2.3 million ($0.5 million after tax), net of related costs. During the nine months ended September 28, 2007, we finalized the purchase price and recorded
additional closing costs, resulting in a reduction to the gain of $0.1 million ($0.1 million after tax). During the fiscal year ended December 28, 2007, we finalized the purchase price and recorded additional closing costs, resulting in a
reduction to the gain of $0.3 million ($0.3 million after tax).

Polymer Business

On June 30, 2006, Johnson Polymer, LLC (JP) and JohnsonDiversey Holdings II B.V. (Holdings II), an indirectly owned
subsidiary of JDI, completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of JP, certain of the equity interests in, or assets of certain JP subsidiaries and all of the equity interests owned by Holdings II in Johnson Polymer B.V. (collectively, the
Polymer Business) to BASF Aktiengesellschaft (BASF) for approximately $470.0 million plus an additional $8.1 million in connection with the parties estimate of purchase price adjustments that are based upon the closing
net asset value of the Polymer Business. Further, BASF paid us $1.5 million for the option to extend the tolling agreement by up to six months. In December 2006, we and BASF finalized purchase price adjustments related to the net asset value and we
received an additional $4.1 million. The Polymer Business developed, manufactured and sold specialty polymers for use in the industrial print and packaging industry, industrial paint and coatings industry

and industrial plastics industry. The Polymer Business was a non-core asset of our company and had been reported as a separate business segment. During the
fiscal year ended December 29, 2006, we recorded an estimated gain of $352.9 million ($256.7 million after tax), net of related costs.

During the fiscal year ended December 28, 2007, we finalized and paid certain pension related adjustments, adjusted net assets disposed and recorded additional closing costs, reducing the gain by $1.7 million ($0.3 million after tax
gain) of which $0.2 million ($0.1 million after tax) and $1.3 million ($0.8 million after tax) was recorded during the three and nine months ended September 28, 2007, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 26, 2008,
we recorded and refined additional closing costs reducing the gain by $0 million ($0.1 million after tax) and $0.2 million ($0.2 million after tax), respectively. Further adjustments are not expected to be significant.

We recorded income from discontinued operations, net of tax, relating to the tolling agreement of ($0.2) million and $0.2 million, during the three
months ended September 26, 2008 and September 28, 2007, respectively, and $0.7 million and $1.1 million respectively for the nine months ended September 26, 2008 and September 28, 2007.



|ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
|------- | ---------------------------------------------------------

Interest Rate Risk

As of September 26, 2008, JDI had $434.1 million of debt outstanding under its senior secured
credit facilities. After giving effect to the interest rate swap transactions that JDI has entered into with respect to some of the borrowings under our credit facilities, $234.1 million of the debt outstanding remained subject to variable rates. In
addition, as of September 26, 2008, JDI had $58.6 million of debt outstanding under foreign lines of credit, all of which were subject to variable rates. Accordingly, our earnings and cash flows are affected by changes in interest rates. At the
above level of variable rate borrowings, we do not anticipate a significant impact on earnings in the event of a reasonable change in interest rates. In the event of an adverse change in interest rates, management would likely take actions that
would mitigate our exposure to interest rate risk; however, due to the uncertainty of the actions and their possible effects, this analysis assumes no such action. Further, this analysis does not consider the effects of the change in the level of
the overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment.

Foreign Currency Risk

Through JDI and its subsidiaries, we conduct our business in various regions of the world and export and import products to and from many countries. Our
operations may, therefore, be subject to volatility because of currency fluctuations, inflation changes and changes in political and economic conditions in these countries. Sales and expenses are frequently denominated in local currencies, and
results of operations may be affected adversely as currency fluctuations affect product prices and operating costs. We engage in hedging operations, including forward foreign exchange contracts, to reduce the exposure of our cash flows to
fluctuations in foreign currency rates. All hedging instruments are designated and effective as hedges, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Other instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are marked to market with changes recognized in current
earnings. We do not engage in hedging for speculative investment reasons. There can be no assurance that our hedging operations will eliminate or substantially reduce risks associated with fluctuating currencies.

Based on our overall foreign exchange exposure, we estimate that a 10% change in the exchange rates would not materially affect our financial position
and liquidity. The effect on our results of operations would be substantially offset by the impact of the hedged items.



|ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|------- | -----------------------

Evaluation of
JohnsonDiversey Holdings Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls. As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures (Disclosure Controls). The controls evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer
(CFO).

##### Table of Contents

CEO & CFO Certifications. Attached as exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to this quarterly report are
certifications of the CEO and the CFO required in accordance with Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). This portion of our quarterly report includes the information concerning the controls
evaluation referred to in the certifications and should be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Companys independent registered public accounting firm will provide an attestation report regarding the Companys internal control over
financial reporting with the issuance of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2008.

Disclosure Controls. As of the end of the
period covered by this quarterly report, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Disclosure Controls as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon the controls evaluation,
our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our Disclosure Controls are effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by
the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, and that information is accumulated and communicated to the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting during the
quarter ended September 26, 2008, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. Our management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the designed control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of
the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities
that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by
management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals
under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
